I've got Stats NZ people harrassing me, now.
They used to have a website which said that individuals had the right to be communicated with in the form of communication they prefer.
So I said that I didn't want to let a surveyer in my house or have a yak to them for 40 minutes to complete this survey on how I spend my money. That they can leave paper forms and I'll fill them out and post them back.
So they updated their webpage to remove all reference to people having the right to be communicated with in the manner they prefer (where written English is reasonable, fairly sure about that) and now i'ts just... Bully content. About how they have the right to send people out and you have to participate by law.
Does the government really not have better things to be spending their money on? Just think of the houses they could buy and the central heaters they could install and how they could rent them to people at an affordable amount...
But, no, they want to hire bully people to go around banging on people's doors demanding entry to their personal property so they can sit down with them for 40 minutes and hear all about how they spend their money while tap tap tapping it all into their form fields that make it impossible (once again) for people to actually say anything about how they actually do spend their money (or want to convey that they do).
I would imagine it's really about what people will say to the bully-person in front of them compared with what people actually do via their bank records and supermarket records and so on. I would imagine that it is.
I think it is $600 not to participate. I suspect a lot of people just eat that.
I hate this f*ck*ng country.
